Why you should go
For fans of the underground house and progressive scene, Sunday's Squamish lineup of Jamie Jones, John Digweed, Pete Tong, Cyril Hahn, and more is reason enough to attend. Jamie Jones and John Digweed rarely make DJ'ing appearances in this part of the world, so the opportunity to see this lineup all in one night is rare. Pete Tong is booked up for another Ibiza residency this summer, so expect this legendary figure within the scene to bring in fresh Balearic vibes from the Spanish island to Squamish.
Acts to watch (If you want to hear new music)
Gramatik: Earlier this year Gramatik released "The Age Of Reason", a 15 track album for absolutely free. The album is funky and filled with chunky basslines and plenty of guitar riffs to keep you entertained. If you want to hear an artist that brings together soul, hip hop, electro, and bass music elements together, then check out Gramatik.
